A New Direction for Healthcare

Posted|April 16, 2015

Progressive Conservative Party Leader Rob Lantz and local area candidates today released his party’s health platform at a news conference in Cornwall.

Lantz stated that health care is the most essential public service that Islanders receive, consuming close to $600 million annually. Costs continue to escalate and service demands expand, threatening the sustainability of existing health programs as well as the ability to provide more services to Islanders.

“Health care is the most essential public service that Islanders receive. We need a new direction for health that puts prevention at the forefront and manages limited dollars to their full use. Our new government will put patients and taxpayers first," said Lantz.
